Memorial Dance for Laura Stein, March 5
Hi all - How are you? Hey, we are going to dance in just one week! It has been, literally, 2 years since our last dance. Amazing, isn’t it?
Also, it is hard to believe Laura Stein has been gone for over a year. Bob Stein and Family, with help from the Ten Pound Fiddle, will host a day of music and dancing in memory and celebration of Laura.
The event will happen at Central United Methodist Church, 215 N. Capitol Ave in Lansing, on Saturday, March 5. Music will be provided by Daron Douglas and Karen Axelrod with calling by Gaye Fifer We’ll do English Country Dancing from 2-5pm take a break for dinner -on your own- no potluck And come back to Contra and Square Dance from 7-10
Admission to each dance $10, students $5
Now - the Covid precautions-
- Everyone must provide proof of full vaccination (along with a photo ID). No exceptions. Boosters are encouraged.
- Masks MUST be worn at all times, except when drinking water. We will provide straws. Surgical masks are better than cloth masks. N95, or K95 are even better
- Everyone will provide contact information after presenting vaccine credentials — email and phone number.
- There will be no snacks. There will be no potluck dinner between the dances.
- If you are SICK- DO NOT Come.
Bob says - “We know there is some risk. The covid virus is going to be with us forever from now on. We need to learn how to mitigate its effects as we do with flu and live our lives. Being vaccinated and boosted does not prevent one from getting sick, but it does lead to a significantly milder infection. Each individual needs to evaluate their own risk tolerance and decide whether to attend or not. We hope you will come and are looking forward to dancing together again.”
Also- Another Celebration Dance - in April. Steve and Renee Johnson have been married for 50 years! So they are inviting the community to a dance party featuring the calling of Darlene Underwood and Music by The Latter Day Lizards. The event will be Saturday, April 2 at CUMC, 215 N Capitol Ave in Lansing. The Dance will start at 7pm and end at 10pm Looking Glass and Ten Pound Fiddle are co-sponsoring this dance. Donations will be accepted at the door and be split between the two organizations. This dance is Steve and Renee’s way of celebrating their Anniversary, and sharing with the Community. Sounds like there might be something in the afternoon, I’ll let you know more when I know
Please note the same Covid precautions listed above will be observed at this event.
Hope you are doing well and staying healthy. Since I am now seeing a glow in the eastern sky when I finish up my early morning walk, Spring it truly just around the corner. Hooray!
(Sad to say I will not be able to attend the dance on the 5th. I am doing some on-call work, and that night I will be working backstage at the Wharton Center. I hope you all have a wonderful time dancing, and I’ll see you on the dance floor soon)
Happy Dancing, Julie LW
